I have recently adopted two tiny guinea pigs into my family. One is an all white Abyssinian with blue eyes and another is a soft medium haired pig with white orange and brown. They are both lovely and very sweet. As of now they are a bit nervous because I just brought them home, and they are in a temporary cage. I have other pets, a very timid cat and 3 dogs. Any tips for dealing with them and the pigs would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for reading, I am very excited!

I think I will take and post some tomorrow. They are a little skittish right now and I don't want to stress them out too much so hopefully they will calm down a little by tomorrow! :)

Hello and welcome! :D

What gorgeous piggies!

Don't be offended if they still haven't calmed down by next week, or even next month. It all depends on the individual pig, and some can take a long time to get settled. It doesn't mean they dislike you, it just means they're very timid little prey animals that are scared of everything haha! Fingers crossed you've got a confident pair and you'll be snuggling them in no time :)

Thank you everyone, I named Luna after my favorite character in Harry Potter- Luna Lovegood. Haha she's a goof, and was nibbling on my toes when I let them out for some floor time. I already see progress in them and are venturing out of their hiding places more often than before! A girl can hope...
